Loading Roll Media
The printer utilizes two (2) sensing methods to accommodate a wide range of media
• Center area transmissive sensing for continuous media and gap/web label media.
• Full-width reflective sensing for print format (length) using black marks, black lines, notches
or holes.
For web/gap media, the printer senses the differences between the label and the liner to
determine the print format length.
For continuous roll media, the printer only senses the media’s characteristics. The print format’s
length is set by programming (driver or software) or the last stored form’s length.
For black mark media, the printer senses the beginning of the mark and the distance to the start
of the next black mark to measure the print format length.
For other common media and setting variations, see one of the following:
• Using the Label Dispenser Option on page 76 after you have loaded media using this
procedure.
• Printing on Fan-Fold Media on page 73
